One Piece is at its final arc and we are seeing a lot of old faces make their comeback in the manga. We see the first major ‘boss’ of the series, Lucci, going against Luffy once again. Back then Luffy had just gotten a grasp of what he can do with his powers but now that he has unlocked his devil fruit’s full potential, Lucci was another mob to him. We see him getting plummeted in a few panels as if he no longer matters as much.
But Villains aren’t the only ones making a comeback in the series, we see Vivi coming back too as well. A member of straw hats left after the conflict in her country was resolved and went with her father to stand for her country. However, during the conclusion of Wano Arc, we learn that her father has been killed and she has been missing since. We further learn that she will be making comeback in One Piece chapter 1074.
And when one talks about Vivi, it is impossible not to bring up Wapol, the man who hit her when she was just 10. Why? So he could start a conflict that would involve many nations and put them in jeopardy. However, Vivi didn’t give in and stopped an international conflict from escalating. But what kind of man does Wapol has to be to hit a child for personal interests? That is not the only question everyone is asking about him.
Wapol Makes A Comeback One Piece Chapter 1074 But Who Is he?
Wapol was the monarch of the Drum Kingdom, inheriting his position from his late father who died when he was young. It didn’t have any effect on him, and his personality worsen, to the point he saw himself above everyone else in the kingdom. Was it the way he was raised? No, it’s the opposite. His father was a just king who thought of everyone in his kingdom as part of his family and wanted his son to inherit that thinking, but that never happened.
Wapol was born with a silver spoon and all his demands were met ever since he was young. This shapes his perspective much more than the lessons his father was trying to instill in him. After he took over the throne, his selfishness only grew and when the time came to show his duty toward the citizens, he ran. Not only did he run away, but he also took away all the important personnel (doctors, medics, etc.) with him.
But deserting his country came with a price as one of his former subordinates (Datlon) the pirates had come to plunder the nation and sit over the throne. Unlike Wapol, Dalton was a just monarch whom the people loved and respected.
He had served under Wapol’s father and had seen the growth of the young prince and watched him turn into a selfish king that would eat even his people. However, Wapol thought of it as his position as royalty and made Dalton his object of revenge.
Wapol And Vivi Are Rumored to Be Working Together In One Piece Chapter 1074
Wapol was not around for a long time, compared to other popular villains of the series. (Reason why everyone is curious about his appearance). However, One Piece Chapter 1074 shows that he will be making a return to the series and will be seen with none other than Vivi of all people. Their coming together can’t be a coincidence, Vivi lost her father to the conflict and Wapol makes an appearance later in the story not after.
What his plans, for now, are hard to say, for despite his selfishness and shallowness, he does have a mind that makes him a threat. And what makes him even worse is his devil fruit ability, the Baku Baku no Mi fruit.
Its name roughly means a hippopotamus fruit, which goes with the personality of Wapol, as he will eat everything to satisfy his vanity(metaphorically speaking). Though, given how many parties are involved we may finally have the answer to one question regarding his devil fruit ability. If he eats a devil fruit user, what will happen to him?
